Tooled Leather Bags​

Do you remember these iconic tooled leather bags? A favourite in the 1970s, these beautifully crafted bags were not just accessories—they were a statement! Some even took up the art of making them as a hobby. Made from durable leather, they were built to stand the test of time, and many of them are still around today.

Well I never had one, but I do remember seeing them back in the 1970s

I did have one when I was younger, but for my retro handbag now I have this one.
It's gorgeous and looks just like the one I had as a teenager.
I have a little bunny attached to mine.

I loved those bags I had 4 of them of different sizes and colours, I had them for over 40 years and I gave them to the local op shop in tasmania before I left. Along with my leather mini skirts, and leather belts I designed and made etc.
